Prep Time
This Instant Pot Broccoli Soup recipe requires minimal prep time. All you need to do is chop the onion, mince the garlic and cut the broccoli into small pieces. This should take no more than 10 minutes.
Cook Time
Once the ingredients are prepped, the soup cooks quickly in the Instant Pot. It takes about 10 minutes to come up to pressure and then another 10 minutes for the soup to cook. Once the cooking cycle is complete, it's important to let the pressure release naturally, which should take about 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode and heat the oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent.
2. Add the vegetable broth, broccoli florets, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
3. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to "sealing". Select the "soup" setting and set the timer for 10 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.
4. When the cooking cycle is complete, let the pressure release naturally. This should take about 10 minutes. Once the pressure is released, carefully remove the lid and stir in the heavy cream.
5. Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Recipe Tips
This Instant Pot Broccoli Soup is best when served hot. To keep the soup warm until you are ready to serve it, set the Instant Pot to the "keep warm" setting. You can also reheat the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop.
To make the soup extra creamy and rich, add an extra 1/4 cup of heavy cream. You can also add some grated cheese for added flavor.
To make the soup a little heartier, add some cooked pasta or cooked potatoes. You can also add some cooked chicken or bacon for some extra protein.
